All,
Sorry if this has been discussed, I have been searching for this information and asking questions, but I feel that I am hijacking other threads, so I decided to start my own. If you are aware of where I can find this information please point me to it, be a video or thread. Please don't ask me to search the forum, as I have and I have searched Google and Youtube. I am looking for real world experince in 240 Split Phase setup. I have a standby new Growatt 12K to replace the existing Growatt12K I am using at the moment, but I am considering replacing it with the 2 x EG4's.
I have been off the grid completely for a year, and will remain so as I do not have any Powerlines near my home and cost prohibitive to run them. I have 40KWH EG4 Pro batteries, 32 x 370W panels - and I am using a 24K Generac for Backup [NG]. I am building a home and would like to exchange my Growatt 12K Low Freq Inverter for 2 x EG4's. I am requesting input of any one who has experience with higher inductive loads on these units. I have a 15K and 13.5 Ac in the 5th Wheel that I currently live in for the house build. I use a VFD for my 3HP fresh water well, which limits current inrush and I do not think this will be an issue. However I do welding [SynchoWave 250 - 50Amp] Mig/Tig and Run a 80Gallon compressor for Air.
I would like to know what experience people have with these units? I plan on two 6.5k inverters in a split phase system. Typically I do not go over 5K of power use at one time. I'm not sure if I need to put soft starts on my AC [I rather not at 300$ each honestly]. But nothing can be done for my 240v Split Phase Air Compressor or Welding Machines if these units can not power them reliably. The Growatt 12K can power these items without a hitch.
The Growatt has AC input issues and I do not like the input of the Solar Array, not to mention - any nice features [dry contact/on off grid voltage settings.. etc] do not work or do not work realibly.
Thanks for any info!
